Isthmus of Tehuantepee—The Garay and Sloo Grants. humus Gordon Bennett, Esq :— ‘The importance of finding some favorable peint for sing through the barrier of land which separates 1.ose portions of the world washed by the waters of 1e Atlantic and the Pacific has occupied the minds ' men since the first discovery of the American con. nent. On the one side of this barrier lie the countries in fhich the human mind has, within the last eighteen pnturies, received its grandest developements—in thich all the knowledge and arts pertaining to the ell-being of man embraced in the word “civiliza- n” have, under the genial influence of Christianity, en successfully and exclusively cultivated. Here e the nations whose fleets rule the seas, whose ban- bra are seen in the remotest parts of the earth, hose sages are the chosen interpreters of the secrets nature, and whose missionaries carry the glad /dings of salvation to all the nations of the earth. n the other, an ocean of far greater extent washes ¢ shores of countries varied in character—the an- lent and long-known countries of the “East,” the ew and virgin shores of North America, the semi- ivilized coasts of the southern continent, and the untless isles of the sea—as various in their inhabi- nts as in their climate and geographical position, t all having one common point: that their future lestiny is yet to be worked our by the influence, irect or indirect, of the nations of the northern At- ntic. Columbus set forth from the Old World, not to dis- over a new continent, but to reach the countries of he “‘East’’ by a shorter and more expeditious route; ‘nd when he found himself baflied in this idea he did ot cease to seek a passage through the barrier hich his discovery had made known. And since le day of the Great Discoverer no project of a simi- hr character has attracted more attention than that ,f uniting the two great oceans of the globe. | While men may have indefinitely postponed the riod, it has always been regarded as a fixed fact hat such a communication must one day be estab- ished. t If such has been the general feeling of men, with how much jnore force is it brought home to citizens hf the United States since the day that her own pos- hessions have been established in the Pacific—since om her own people a new State has all at once sprung to existence, and since a tide of human intercourse tas established itself betwecn the two oceans un- haralleled in the history of the world. ' It is not strange that the narrow neck of land se- parating the two oceans has been explored and re- hxplored, and that every point which tradition or lyrevious geographical knowledge had indicated as ‘avorable have been examined. | The Panama route has as yet, through necessity, ispjoyed almost a monopoly of the travel which would nave sought the Isthmus of Tehuantepec had not the perverse obstinacy of Mexico suceeded thus far ni closing it against the world. ' ‘The comparative shortness of this route, (saving some 1,700 miles from New Orleans, and 1,200 from New York,) as compared with Panama, its lying on this side in a sea under our control, directed early attention to it. But still a doubt hung over its pro- bability until the proprietors of the Garay grant, by costly survey, demonstrated beyond a shadow of Joubt that the route was not only perfectly praetica- ble, butso even beyond the sanguine hopes previously entertained of it, while the country through which \t lay was not only extremely healthy but productive of mineral and vegetable wealth almost beyond estimate. Thus has the physical practicability of this route been demonstrated. Its importance to the civilized world, and its enhanced importance to the United States, as the most direct route immediately practi- pable between the United States of the Atlantic iand, (I may'say, in anticipation of a few brief years,) ¢ United States of the Pacific, is fully conceded. ' It is.then a question of paramount importance to this country to know whether there is any immedi- ate prospect of this route being soon opened, under such conditions as will satisfy the jast demands of the United States and of the civilized world. | And, incidental to this, it is necessary to know ‘fret, whether le eel of the Garay gran ‘still hold a valid cl to the right of way, with th: ip connected therewith, by that grant; or, se ‘cond, if not, whether the so-called“‘Sloo contract’ fur- wishes any adequate substitute for this grant, o ‘whether there can be any prospect of obtaining from "Mexico any new concession which will afford such a he fst question involves the history of th question involves the of the Gara: ‘grant; and this has been so often mf eated in the ‘public journals, in various forms, that I think it un- necessary to do more than briefly allude to its most important heads. It is well known that ‘in the year 1842 the supreme government of Mexico conceded to Don José de Garay, a Mex- Acan citizen, the right of way across the Isth- |mus of Tehuantepec, with sundry important Privileges attached, now constituting what is known. ‘as the Garay grant; that the limits of time for com- mencing the work of Spanisg this route were in two | Several instances extended—the last extension reach- | ing to November, 1848; that before the expiration of the time specified by the second decree extending ‘those limits, the work for opening the route was ac- tually commenced; that by the terms of the grant ‘the contract or possessed the power of transferring his right to other parties, “ either natives or foreigners;”” and that, under this Fone he actually has twice transferred, wholly or ally, his right to third lee—foreigners in both cases. And the first trans- er, so made was solemnly acknowledged hy the representatives of the government of Mexico, during the negotiations which preceded the treaty of Gua- ae Hidalgo, by which acknowledgment they ac- tually prevented the United States from insisting ‘upon the acquirement of the right of way, as a con- ition which the conqueror might impose upon the ered nation. - It isalso well known that Mexico never denied the dyes of the original grant, nor of the first exten- sion of time; and that, in affirming through her ne- igotiators that the right had been granted to a Mexi- can citizen, by whom it had been transferred to for- eigners, she, 80 far as this act was binding, main- ined the validity of the second extension, for the 6 was at that time held under this jeecond extension. Nor has Mexico ever made but one point in anull- ing Garay’s a 3.and that was, that this second ension was illegal, though ker negotiators, treat- ing with the United States as representatives of her et ne and people, virtually and solemnly en- lorsed its validity. A distinguished American Senator, in opposing ihe Garay grant, has not oaly rested his argument ayon this point—the sole one that Mexico has made |~bnt he has endeavored to invalidate the grant even ‘n its very origin, and in all its successive stages, contesting even the authority by which it was first imade, and afterwards extended—throwing doubt are the affirmed compliance with its conditions on ihe part of the contractor, in executing the original survey, and in commencing the work under the sec- ond extension. It seems quite sufficient, however, 10 let Mexico k for herself in this matter ‘The Mexican rers affirmed ‘: that the decree of Gen. alas,'of November, 1846, waa null and void, because ho bad not power to make such a decree.” In other words, that the Garay grant had expired, land become null and void by its own limitations, be- cause the authority by which its existenee was con- tinued was incompetent. No doubt was ever cast in Mexioo—go far as I know—aupon the original valid- ity of the grant, @r upon that of its first extension ; nor yet upon the fact of the contractor having exe- cuted his preliminary surveys in good faith ; or up: ion the fact of his having commenced his work in rood faith, before the expiration of the time allowed him under the second extension ted by Salas. It is upon the invalidity of this extension alone that Mexico justifies herself in now disowning the Garay grant. We may well content ourselves, therefore, to meet 00 more points than Mexico herself has made. And, first, I would observe that the Mexican pleni- tentiaries d thergaalves upon this very ex- nsion of , when, in Ip47, they declared to Mr. ‘That Mexico could not treat upon this subject [the right of way across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec] becuse she had several years before made a grant to one of hor own citizens, who had transferred his rights, by autho rity of the Mexican government, to English subjects, of whose Fighta Maxico could not dispose. , Now very ey of which “Mexico could not { "because they fhad passed into the hands # English subjects, and which, by this solemn decla- Bante prevented from talling into our hands iby right of conquest, have now passed into the hands lot Ameriean cit 8 by a process precisely the same las that by which they were then held by Haglish subjects. The existence at that time, as well as at this, of any claims whatever other than the sove- reign claim of Mexico to the right of way across t! isthmus, depended npon the extension by Saly the Garay grant. Neither was this extension of grant ever celled tn question by t! erument, the Mexican OF of ev pe, until long after it had been avowedly transferred American . The American parties who purchased that grant did so in good faith. They examined documents and titles—they looked at the long series of years during which ‘this grant had been fully acknow- ledged by the government of Mexico—they looked to the solemn declarations made by Mexican Patho tentiaries to Mr. Trist, that the government of Mexico had divested itself of its supreme rights in this mat- ter, and that they now were in the hands of others, “of whose rights Mexico could not dispose ; they saw that not only was the ‘original grant but its different extensions thus solemnly acknowledged, and they bebeld themselves at last in possession of the very same solemnly acknowledged rights. But they were not content with even this—they would take no important step until they had ob- tained a solemn reaffirmation, on the part of Mexico, of these newly acquired rights. ey re- quired a treaty between their own and the Mexican governments, by which the grant which they held should be acknowledged, and by which they should be assured of being protected in its maintenance. The Mexican government were informed by our minister that the American holders of the Garay grant desired to re-survey the isthmus, and were in- vited to negotiate a treaty acknowledging and pro- tecting this grant. Now, it seems, would have been the time for the Mexican government to say, “We know no such rant. It once existed, but it has expired by its own unitations.” So far from saying this, the Mexican government immediately forwarded passports for American engineers to enter the Isthmus, and re- quested the governors of Oajaca and Vera Cruz to afford them ‘aid and hospitality.” The proposition to negotiate was favorably received, a treat; Somelly made, sent to the United States, returned for modifi- cation, and modified, and finally approved by the executive and Senate of the United States. Nomem- ber of the government of Mexico—no member of its Congress—no public journal—raised a voive to doubt the validity of the Garay grant, and the events here alluded to occupied more than a year’s time. It is shuffling to allege that Mexico was not aware, during all this period, that it was the “Garay grant,” and that alone, which*was in question. It was as notorious as the daylight, even though the name of Garay ma; | not once occur in the papers and passports whic! have been laid before the Senate. . Things had reached the state already described be- fore the American holders were willing to incur the risk and expense of commencing operations. The ecsank government had shown the most fa- vyorable disposition, and had actually negotiated one treaty. Our own government had entered heartily into the measure, and the holders, anxious to open the route to the immense California travel, believed themselves secure in embarking on their great enter- prise without waiting for the final ratification of the treaty. With the consent and co-operation of the Mexican ! government they sent their surveying parties to the isthmus. | "The object of these parties was notorious. Still they were furnished with passports—renewed both at Vera Cruz and on the Isthmus—with the utmost cordiality. Col. Robles, who at that time had been notified of his selection as Secretary of War under Arista, received the members of the survey with cor- diality—furnished them with all the advice and assistance in his power, (for he himself had assisted in the former Garay suryey,) and visited them on their veseel. Such was the state of things at the commencement of the survey, in December, 1850. Some six months after, a communication was re- ceived Labonte engineer of the survey, informing him that the Mexican Congress had annulled the Garay grant, and directing himto suspend the survey and to cause his parties to leave the country. Thus, after Mexico had had ample time to make | her protest—if she had a protest to make—atter, (in- | stead of doing so,) inviting the American parties to | commence their work, and inducing them to incur an enormous expense, she unceremoniously abrogated the grant, and expelled the employes of the Ameri- can holders from the isthmus. In other contracts, as well as the marriage con- tract, there isa time when those interested should speak, ‘“‘or ever after hold their peace.” I think that time had passed with Mexico, even had she fourd valid cause for disowning the rights of the American holders; but she has, as yet, presented no such case. So much for the validity of the Garay contract. Mexico has unceremoniously set it aside. It is next in order to inquire whether the contract she has substituted, known as the Sloo contract, or Sloo grant, and which our government is asked to sanc- tion and approve, furnishes any substitute—whether it can afford any such right of way across the isth- mus as the United States and Kuropean nations demand. : Letus see who are the owners of the “Sloo con- ract”:— William D. Lee, attorney for A. G. Sloo and his asso- eiates, and Messrs. Ramon Olarte, Manuel Payno, and J. J. Pesado, for the Mexican assosiates and contractors eoncerned in the enterprise of the Tehusatepee inter. oeeaais communication, and representing the whole com pany, which, under the mame of the Mixed Company, is charged with the said opening and communication, in concert with the company named Osjaca, and Felipe Gargia and his associates, with the agents of the States of Chiapas, Tobsaco, and Usjaca. The American character of this contract will be appreciated by aid of the Eee Ons, enumeration of holders ; and still more when it is added that the Mexican government shall be eonsidered a stock- holder to the amount of one-third the entire stock, and that Mexican citizens have the refusal of another full third—thus making the,control of the affair ab- sclutely Mexican. Whoever knows how Mexican companies manage such matters will be able to esti- mate how such an olla podrida as this will get along. The Garay grant is one, and the holders are one company, and exclusively American. But let us look a little further into the conditions of the two grants, and we mect with a stumbling block at the very outset in the Sloo contract :— Art. 1. The way of communication sball be by water, as far as the river Coatzaconleos is navigavle, and where the navigation terminates the road, (mentioned in the second arti commence. 2d. The co ‘a bind themselyos to commence a plenk road int at which the river Coatancealcos ceases to ble, leading to the Pasific, in the that this contract has been made, three yeors after having comme + To begin the construction of a railroad in one year, counted from vhis Inst dave, and to fivish said railroad, with all the neceasery cars and engines, within the four following years, notifying the supreme government, in both cases, “ having commenced the works, and of their beiag fin- 3d. The direction of the road shall be that which may be designated by competent engineers as being the most practicable from the shortness ef the distance and from the facility of construction; the starting point boing where previous surveys shall have shown that the river Coatacoalcos iv no further navigable. Thus it will be seen that the contract binds the route to the river Coatzacoalcos as far ag navigable; that the railroad must start at that point at which the surveys have shown that the river is ‘no further navigable.” When we speak in this general way of rivers being navigable or not navigable, we refer to the ordinary meansof river navigation. By the contract, then, the railroad must start from the head of river navigation, not from the point to which sea-going vessels can ascend—at least this is the obvious construction of the phraseology—making an additional breakage exemption to secure the enjoyment of a common r: ‘The commercial intercourse of the United States will, therefore, be subject to tonnage and import di their Passengers and mails charges. precio munication may thus be ‘free and common te the com merce of the whole world; but that commerce will be- come & source of illegitimate revenue to Mexico, A sub- ject of to much importance to the United States should be placed beyond doubt or difficulty, in terms which can- not be misunderstood or mia py In contrast to this, see the eighth article of the Garay contra Art: 8—Ihbe government shall have the right of ap- pointing the custom house officers which it may see fit, in the ports, snd in any other points it may choose ia the le of communication; but only for the purpose of re- covering the duties of importation and exportation upom articles which do not come and go merely for the purposes of trapsport, and for preventing smuggling: and in no case sball they interfere im the collection of transport have been po necessity for granting a » t. duex, nor in the collection of fveights, lighterage or ton- r clans of dues; for none shall be pay- ng or unloading for the transport of eficets 80 long as the communication shall belong to the negotiation. The measures which the government shall teke fer the prevention of smaggling shall be such as to caure po embarrassment or delay in the transport of ¢°- fects across the Isthmus, aad particular regulations ‘will be adopted and 14sued to this effect. The hol@@rs of the Garay contract have the right to select their own ports. By the Sloo contract Vera Cruz and Ventoa are fixed, thus making Decent another transhipment at Vera Cruz, and much delay and increased expense. It is well known that during the winter season the northers almost weekly cut off communication be- tween Vera Cruz and the Coatzacoalcos. No vessel will put to sea during one of them, and none but the most seaworthy can contend with them when caught atsea. The bar of the Coatzacoalcos cannot be crossed while they are blowing. Thus, as much loss of time will be incurred by the stoppage at Vera Cruz as in geueral would be re- quired by the voyage from New Orleans to the Contzacoalcoa; iat in addition to this, the holders of the Garay grant, by the liberty they have in the selection of ther ports, have probably the means of overcoming the difficulty of the Coazacoalcos bar. The holders of the Garay contract are invested with other privileges, and remunerated by donations that will enable them to raise capital and execute their project with promptness, and without counting cost. It is doubtful whether the Sloo contract will re- munerate the holders, or enable them to raise capital to make a railroad. For a more full exposé of the objections to the Sloo contract 1 must refer to the able articles in the New York Heratp, New York Times, Philadelphia North American, and to the memorial to the Presi- dent cs the United States by the holders of the Garay grant. We have been told that Mexico desired only to be released from the Garay grant, which had become odious to her—that she was willing to grant the right of way to the world on the most liberal terms. The Sloo contract bas enabled us to judge what she is dispesed to do, and the feeling which has de- veloped itself within the last two or three years shows conclusively that no concessions areto be ex- pected trom her towards the United States, In the meantime, the United States and the civil- zed world demand the opening of the Tehuantepec route. The substantial enforcement of the Garay contract affords the only means of effecting this object short of (what few good citizens desire) the apnclate conquest of the country. J. G. Barnarp, Byt. Maj. Corps of Enginers, and late Engineer of the Tehuantepec Railroad Company. Philadelphia, May 24, 1853. Intelligence. HENDERSON AND NASHVILLE RAILROAD. The Henderson Courier says The contract for building the Henderson and Nashville Railroad has been let out upon very satisfactory terms to the di- rectory. They have taken the first and third sec- tions of the road. The first section extends from Henderson to Madisonville, and the third section from Hopkinsville to Trenton. The ground on the road will be broken on Wednesday, the 22d of June next, at which time there will be a barbecue given. ‘There will be several distinguished speakers in at- tendance on the occasion. Hon. O. H. Smith and Governor Powell will be among the speakers. ABSECOM RAILROAD. The advance of the season is naturally attracting much attention to this work. Operations along the whole line are in rapid progress, and everything bids fair for its completion and opening in time to be of reat service. The terminus at Cooper's Point, Cam- len, exhibits a busy scene. The road through the town has received the superstructure, the laying of the rails being commenced at the Point, where also of bulk necessary in the transit and prolonging the time for passengers by twelve hours at least. But if it is contended that the road may extend down to a point to which sea-going jvessels can aseend there is still an important restriction here to which the Garay contract is not liable. Article three of the Garay contract says:— This [line of communiction] shall be by water except where it is impracticable, when railroads and steam car- riages sball be used. ‘he expression, “by water,” no deubt had refer- ence to the Coatzacoalcos on one side amd the lakes on the other. But it was not known how far either were “practicable,” and the Coatuacoalcos may be thrown out of the line by the, Garay Company if they find a better -route, as the lakes have already been. And this discarding of the Coatzacoalcos for another and a better lme is by no means an im- probable nor unimportant matter. the Mexican peo- Sw The other ebjections to the various elauses of the Sloo contract have been so well set forth by others that it is searcely necessary for me to discuss them more fully. The followin extract from the memorial of the holders of the Garay grant to the President of the United States will indicate some of the most im- portant :— ene not open s free way to them [the United lat . eeriy of communication across the Isthmus of Te- huantepec is required by the American government, not #0 much for the purposes of general commerce as for do: mestic intercourse between the systems of States now growing wp along the shores of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

The books for stock in this road have been opened at Paducah, Golconda, Equality, Carmi, and Vin- cennes. This is a work of such vital and direct nterest to the citizens of southeastern Illinois, that the friends of the road throughout its entire length will be up and doing, and will ¢e incontestible evi- dence that the people in south Illinois not only rally appreciate the fact that the building of this road would be of vast importance to the citizens of that part of Illinois, but that they are also ready and willing to assist in pushing forward this very important work. MOBILE AND OHIO RAILROAD. The entire road from Mobile to the Kentucky lien is under contract—a distance of 453 miles—except a few miles of light work in Tennessee and berger i and can be constructed in six months. Nine-tenths of the contracts have been taken by planters along the road, who have in all cases given bonds for the performance of the work on or before the Ist No- vember, 1854. SARATOGA AND SACKET’S HARBOR RAILROAD. We learn from good authority, says the Saratoga Repullican, that this road is to be built with all reasonable despatch. Altogether, it is one of the best undertakings of the kind ever projected in this State. It opens a large tract of country hitherto im- penetrable, and brings into market thousands of acres of heavy timbered lands belonging to the State and to individuals, and affords market facilities for large portions of the Great West and the Canadas. It will shorten the distance between Lake Ontario and Boston, and will become the great thoroughfare for the trade and travel going east from the north- western part of this State and the contiguous coun- try lying west of the lake. THE VALLEY RAILROAD. A fall meeting of the directors of the Rochester and Genesee Valley Railroad took place at Rochester on the 19th inst. Mr. Boody having renewed his a epee to contract for building the road from Rod ester to Portage, and also vo equip the same, he agreeing to take the existing subscriptions so far as they go, and mortgage bonds for the nce in pay ment, much discussion arose thereon. Several di- rectors strenuously resisted this proposal, on the und that the amount for which the mortgage nds must be issued would be too lar nag about $650,000, and it was rejected by the 6 We understand that the terms of the poe were regarded as highly advantageous. The board passed a resolution declaring their intention to push the road on to Mt. Morris with all possible despatsh, and also authorized the executive committee to re- ceive proposals for rolling atock. Entire confidence is expressed in the completion of the road to¥Mount Morris, and hopes are entertained of its being push- ed on to Portage, though the immediate prospect is not good for this last result. THOMASTON AND BARNESVILLB RAILROAD. The work on this road is progressing rapidly. The grading of it, for three miles out of Thomaston, is completed, and it is estimated that with the force at Pig dae engaged upen it, this part of the work will finished during the reece year. The entire route is upon a ridge, with no water course or other material obstruction. But one embankment or exca- vation of bas feet is necessary, and that occurs in the portion of the road phe Heer Almost the entire stock of this road has been taken by the citi- zens of vie county, and we trust that their enter- prise will be rewarded by the early completion and successful operation of. the road. UTICA AND BINGHAMTON RAILROAD. The Utica Observer of May 19 announces the md organization of the Utica and Bingham- ton Railroad Company, and that, too, under the most Among other prominent men, whose names we see announced a8 ¢ in the enterprise, ex-Lieutenant Governor John Tracy, Hon. Joseph Juliand, of Greene; John Butterfield, Utica; 0. B. Matteson, Utica, and others equall wealthy and energetic. Under such auspices there little doubt but that the work will be put through with the least possible delay. MISCELLANEOUS. A porton of the Great Western (Canadian) Rail- road, from Copeland westward, having been com- leted, a locomotive was put in motion on it on the (4th inst., and run over that portion of the road. The House of Delegates of Maryland have rejected the bill to dispose of the State's interest in the Balti- more and Susquehanna Railroad by a very decisive vote. A vote was taken in Milwaukee, Wis., on the 17th inst., upon the question of loaning the credit of the city to an amount not exceeding $200,000, in aid of the Lake Shore Railroad, which resulted in adecided majority in favor of the proposition. meeting was held in Meadville, Pa., on the 17th inst., and the Town Council authorized to subscribe for any number of shares to the Pittsburg and Erie Railrord, authorized by the laws of the State, not to exceed $60,000. Mr. Horatio N. Ferrill, formerly foreman of the bindery connected with the office of the Columbus, Ohio, Jeurnal, committed suicide on the th inst. by shooting bimeelf through the heart. He first discharged a shot at his wife, but the wound inflict- ed on her is not mortal. Ho discharged three shots into his own breast, and died immediately.

THE MEMPHIS CONVENTION. ‘The South, it would appear, is about entering in earnest on the work of regeneration. The compara- tive decline of that portion of the Union, as mea- sured, at least, by the rapid advance of the North, has awakened her statesmen, merchants, planters and citizens generally, to the necessity of a new policy. It isaccordingly proposed to have @ line ot steamers from Charleston to Europe ; to establish a cotton depot somewhere on the continent of Europe; to en- courage direct trade to and from Southern ports; and to establish manufactories. These various projects it is proposed to discuss in full atthe Memphis Con- vention. We are glad to see the South aroused at last, but have little faith in the proposed measures, at present, except the manufactories. The others seem to us, in fact, to be te ged the cart before the horse. As long as England continues to make the goods which Southern planters buy so long will cotton find its way to Manchester, in spite of the continental depot. It is, indeed, thought, by some persons, that such a depot will build up manufactories on the continent ; but surely, if new manufactories are to be built up anywhere by Southern policy, it is wiser to build them up on the soil of the South ; for, in that case, freight, commissions, insurance, interest and various other matters, which now go to factors, shippers, and middle men generally, will be saved to the planter, in whom, finally, all such expenses fall. The first point for the South, therefore, to direct its attention to, should be the encouragement of do- mestic manufactures. The State of Georgia is an il- lustration of what can be done in the South, where such manufactures are fostered systematically. The idle waste, the exhaustion of soils, which have here- tofore characterized that region will yield there, as everywhere else, to thrift, industry, enterprise, and thorough agriculture. Nothing will facilitate this reform more than the erection of factories in conve- nient locations, and the bringing the market thus, ina greater or less degree, to the door of the planter. Wherever this is done, the country is thriving; wher- ever it is omitted, soils soon become exhausted. Vir- ginia has retrograded by the neglest of this rule, while Georgia has advanced by obeying it. _ The South, during the whole of the past genera- tion, repudiated manufactures very generally. We behold now the results. But a change is coming over the opinions of her leading men. They cannot shut their eyes to the fact, that under the old system a large portion of the South has become exhausted; that this exhaustion is already overtaking lands that were virgin thirty years ago; that, in short, the en- tire region must ultimately become exhausted, unless tome change of policy is made. Hence, with every succeeding year, there are more and more conyertsin ras South to the necessity of domestic manufactures ere. The true policy of the South is to make up as much cotton as it can, and export only the balance. The saving, even on the cotton goods they directly consume, will then enable the Southern people to purchase hundreds ‘of luxuries of which they have now to deprive themselves, or which they procure only by invading their capital. The trade of the South would not fall off by this encouragement of Southern manufactures, for the increased wealth of the South would give new vitality to Southermcom- merce. Then steamships to Europe, and direct traffic to and fre from Charleston, will be things of natural, not of forced growth, and will flourish of themselves. It may be «aid, by some skeptics, that the South cannot establish manufactories. But, with the im- murense water panes which exists through all that re- gion, and, with the intersecting lines of railroads which will soon join all portions of the South to- ‘ether, this appears incredible. Indeed, it is known that it is so, Manufactorieg, when properly con ee have succeeded in the South, as Georgia can tify. We bid our Southern brethren good cheer, mean- while, in their work of regeneration, however they may begin it, and however they may carry it on. We have no narrow jealousy of them, but wish them success With all our hearts. The Musical Season in Boston, [From the Boston Transcript, May 21 ] The musical season may now be considered as ended. Rossini’s ‘Barber of Seville,” by some consi- dered his masterpiece, closed the long list of instru- mental and vocal performances,« which, from early in September of last rer till the present time, have pleased us more or less, according as we sympa- thized with the music, or acknowledged the skill of the performers. The retrospect of the opera has much more of pleasure than regrets. Of the two great schools of musie, under which modern opera may be classed— the German and.the Italian—the examples, with one exception, have been from the latter. To a musical public, who have been as weil grounded in the severer styles,in the elemental forms of music,as have our own, this selection must have appeared much as did Fal- staff’s tavern bill to Prince Hal.—‘‘But one halfpenn; worth of bread to an intolerable quantity of sack.’ It was, however, a matter of comparative necessity, as the event has proved, from the peculiar composi- tion of the troupes. They were not Gon } enough in artists who could sing the requirements of their score irrespective of its range, and the choice of operas, which, under more favorable circumstances, might have been changed much for the better, proved, in one case at least, that the skill and good taste of Madame Sontag lay not all in the management of her voice. It was, perhaps, the only course which could have ensured her success, and renewed, in part, at least, those triumphs which, during the prime of her opera life, exhausted all the terms of adulation and praise. We have been accused, as a community, of being bigoted in favor of the so-called German style of music; and for this we have become a bye-word and reproach among some of our neighbors—set down as asort of provincial district, which ee well be served after all other places have had their glut of music. This is not the fact. While itis entirely true.that the more placid, less exciting, and, there- fore, less exhausting pleasure which is derived from the works of the German masters, is fully appre- ciated and enjoyed to a high degree by our musical dilletanti, it would be a gross libel upon their good taste to deny them the capability of perceiving in, and receiving from, the works of the so-called Italian school both beauty and satisfaction. If we love sym- phonies, when was our admiration of the best com positions of the Italian masters ever withheld? There are few communities in the world, certainly not in the United States, so capable of judging music by its intrinsic merits, and appreciating true artistic execution in a performance as our own. It has been the voluntary and unanimous testimony of both singers and performers, that nowhere will the public accept so much of what by common consent has re- ceived the title of classical music, asin Boston. No people more quickly perceive the fine points of both vocalization and dramatic performance, and none more readily offer their app use. Witness the en- thusiasm created during the performances of the old Havana troupe, the details of which may be found in Mr. Clapp’s admirable history of the ton stage. Also the secondappearance of the same troupe which first made us acquainted with Badiali. Witness the success of the Germanians, crowding the immense Music Hall twice a week, beside the regular evening concerts. The training of twenty years has not been without its fruits ; and we feel that a fuller meed of praise than has yet been bestowed, is due to the Bos- ton Academy of Music, which first in the old Odeon, it then altered from the Federal street theatre, an the work. yubtless g large share of the honor m educating the publie higt standard of musical taste belongs to the Handel and Haydn Society, the pioneer or- ganization, whose performances of those sublime ereations of the old masters,written with a severity of style anda conscientions and religious fidelity to the sentiment that have made them models for all time, laid the foundation of that love for the grand and beautiful in music which is so universal in this com- munity. It is not a feeling of momentary excite- ment, attendant upon caprice or fashion, which be- stows its garlands, and pours ite incense to the pres- tige ofa name. It is strong and abiding, ever ready to cheer the young aspirant after fame, or to recog- nize beauty in music, from whatever source or under eee modi comes. nom aan any causes have operat prevent that degree ut patteage which we would gladly have seen be- stowed upon the opera. e most important, no doubt has been the scale of prices. This was to a great degree the result of necessity, the limited ca- city of the house requiring for each seat, in order make it profitable to the management, a price that the majority of our musical le are unable to pay. Itis the mass after all that must be looked to for the steady support of either the drama or the opera. Experience is alike in all our cities that a Ma gh upon the wealthy and fashionable only ends in disappointment. The Astor Place Opera House is a proof of this. This building, built in the most expensive manner, and in a situation especially adapted to meet the wants of the ton, is now stripped of its splendid decorations, which have been sold under the hammer, and is to be converted into other uses, while Castle Garden flourishes, up- held by the million who nightly crowd its walls. A conductor of opera who has tried his fortune in almost every city of the Union and its neighboring countries, has given it as his experience, that he never lost any money in our city. And, now that we are sure of a capacious opera honse, from the strong love of music which we know exists here and in tho vicinity, which, by means of our railroads, is con- verted into a vast suburb, we feel that we are war- ranted in promising to auy impressario who will. ar range a company properly, bring out good operas in ungarbled integrity, a golden harvest, whose dura- be will be commensurate only with his efforts to please.

We predict a tremendous emigration for t Texas from the whole eurrgunding couytry. Minister from Ecuador—Gen. Joseph Villamil, [From the New Orleans Boe, May 20.) This distinguished gentleman will leave New Or- leans in a day or two, for Washington, whither he repairs in the cane of Minister Plenipotentiary of the republic of Ecuador. Gen. Villamil. asour readers are probebly aware, is a Lovisianian. His career has been singularly varied, and affords a striking illus- tration of the upward and opward tendency of those minds in which nature has imyJanted an indomita- ble spirit, a resistless will, and an impulsive and un- flagging energy. A brief survey of the leading inci- dents in the life of Gen. Villamil will best exemplify our aseertion. Joseph Villamil was born in New Orleans in the year 1789. From early youth he wasstudious, grave and thoughtful. His education was limited to the ordinary rudiments of knowledge, such as alone could be obtained in Lovisiana sixty years ago. Ne- vertheleas, he improved every scunty opportunity of acquiring information, relying on his own native poner of intellect to supply imperfect instruction. n 1£08, while yet a youth, he took a profound inter- est in the wars which the South American provinces were waging for their Andependence: and repairing to Venezuela, where two-of his brothers had long re- sided, joined the patriots and fought beneath their flag. Having fallen into the hands of the enemy, he only escaped death through the intercession of se- yeral prominent leaders, but was compelled to quit Venezuela. Young Villamil, still ardent in the cause of freedom, went to Guayaquil, which he found ripe for revolution, and soon after volunteered in her army, and helped to fight her battles, and establish her independence. Various acts of intrepidity and military skill signal- ized the career of Villamil, and at length obtained for him the rank of Major in the republican army. He remained in the service of Guayaquil, rising from post to post, until in 1840 he was promoted to a full Coloneley. In 1845, the administration of Flores be- came so odious that civil war broke out. Villamil, as usual, combatted on the side of the people, and after many engagements, routed Flores and compelled him to Jay down his arms. Thi nt was sneceeded by a Slepisy of marked admi: ‘ative qualities and tact in calming popular commotion, and re-establishing order and tranquillity. General Villamil, for tothis rank had the brave chieftain been exalted, was ap- pointed Prime Minister of President Urbino, and, for 4 while, peace and quiet prevailed in Guayaquil. In 1852, the restless spirit of Flores created fresh agita- tion. Ha re-appeared in the vicinity of Guayaquil at the head of 1,500 men, supported by five vessels of war, and once more lighted the flames of civil dis- cord. General Villamil marched forth to meet the invader; after a number of Stet senene in which Flores was invariably worsted, peace was restored by the flight of the enemy. The most serious of these combats took place on the 4th July, 1852. Flores had attacked the battery of Saragura, with 800 soldiers and 14 pieces of artillery. Villamil had only 114 men and 3 cannons under his command. But to use his own language, ‘A yankee could not be beaten on the 4th of July,” ani this Flores discovered to his cost, hay- ing been repulsed at all points with great slaughter, After years of hard service, with a head frosted by time, but a heart still youthful and ardent, he has returned to his own Louisiana, and exchanged greetings with the gray haired citizens, who were forty years ae the companions of his youth. Gen- eral Villamil left New Orleans in the bloom of early manhood, and for nearly half a century had led a life of vicissitudes and danger, He has risen from humble station, to the highest civil and military distinctions; yet never has he either forgotten or abjured his American origin, and his heart still beats with patriotic fervor at the reflection that he was reared in the land of liberty. As a valiant and time- honored soldier, as a gentleman of the old school, as a noble-minded and high-hearted American, do we recommend General Villamil to the corteous atten- tion pe the diplomatic circles as the seat of govern- ment. ARRAIGNMENT OF A GIRL FoR THE MurDER OF ner Lover.—Agnes Anderson, the young woman now in confinement charged with the murder of Mr. Taylor, was brought up for acral maen this morning, in the Fifth district court. The court room was crowded on the occasion. Agnes had on a black silk dress, a bonnet, and a green veil, and looked fa- tigued and care worn. When called to the bar, she advanced from her seat with a steady step, but when the clerk commenced reading the indictment andthe finding of the grand jury, her assumed fortitude gave way, and before the document was read she became terribly agitated. When the clerk had finished read- ing the indictment, he put the usual question, “ Are you guilty or not guilty ?” to which she replied, “ I am guilty in self defence, and I wish I was hung and be done with it. I'll die for him; I love him; 1 wish I was hung for it ; I don’t want to live in chains.” Her language here became incoherent, and in the midst of the excitement of the scene, the Judge very properly ordered the officer to remove her from the court room.— Augusta, Ga., Sentinel, May 24. “ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Aarurpay, May 28—6 P. M. ‘There was a steady, firm market today, with pretty large transactions in the most prominent faacies. The treatent improvement was in Crystal Palace, which ad- vauced 8 percent, Within the past week this fancy stock has fluctuated about eighteen per cent. It is pretty difi- cult to tell what its intrinsic value is. It dezends upon 80 many contingencies that to touch it, any way, is a matter of speculation entirely. The corner in Phoenix works pretty well, but it bas no basis. It is easy enough to buy the stock, but it would be exceedingly difficult for any of the present heavy holders to sell. It is only by continually buying that the market price can be sus- tamed. Erie Railroad appears to be tending downward. There were large sales to-dey, but the opening price was not sustained. Harlem opened and closed heavy. The market looks sick. An upward movement may occa- stonally be made, but there is nothing to sustain it. No one out of the street can be induced to touch any of the upguaranteed securities on the market. The whole force of the regular street operators is applied to inflating and depresring prices; but they are so equally balanced that not much progress is made either way. The bears rather bave the advantage, and tho chances are decidedly in their favor. ‘The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port teday, amounted to $79,089 85; payments $109,285 88—balance, $7,000,192 87, ‘The sales at the Mining Board to day, were as follows:— 226 shares Ulster Lead lo 200 do de 200 do do 860 do do 100 do Norwich Cop 100 do Middletown Lead Wo have received « report relative to the conditions and resources of the M’Cullock Copper and Gold Mining Company of North Carolina, made by Professor Jackson, the distinguished geologist. This mine has been so long ‘and go well known, that very little can be said that is not already known, to give it the eharacter it is entitled to. The endorsement even of Dr. Jackson is not neces- rary to guarantee its great richness and value. This mine is more widely and more favorably known than avy other in the couatry. It is known to contain inex. haustible quantities of copper and gold ores, of extraordi- nary richness, The openings which have been made along the course of the river settie, beyond » doubt, the question of its great and peculiar value. Its location is admirable, The North Carolina Central Railroad runs within two miles of the company’s lands, The great value of this property consists chiefly in ite immense vein of copper, which, in the language of Professor Jackson, is one of the best in the United States, It has never been worked for copper, the vein having been discovered only: within the last two or three months. In fact, the copper ore bas been regarded as of no value; yet, whilst mining for gold, upwards of one hundred tons of the sulpburet of copper have been incidentally taken out. This copper ore har, by thorough analysis, been found to contam 24-21 per cent of copper. This company, jefore, takes possession of the pro: perty in a well developed state, with large quantities of 3 copper ore ready for immediate shipment ; also, forty - to fifty thousand bushels of golden ore lying on the sur- face, as it came from the mine, with the rosiduary of twenty seven years, from which five hundred thousand dollars have been taken, leaving over half a million of bushels on the surface for immediate reduction by means of new machinery. Here is what Professor Jackson says about this cole- brated mi This mire ispitusted in the township of Greensboro) Guildford county, North Carolina, avd har been work for twenty-seven years. I learn from good suthority that it haa, during the whole period, proved very profit able to the owners, and that it is considered, by all com petsat judges in the vicinity, to be the most valuable own gold mine in the State, But little atiention bas been paid to the value of the important lode of copper ore which has recently been disclosed in the lower workings of the mine. This now will be rendered available, and will be brought to market.

The mine is on eleva'ed ground, and is admirably sit for working, there being very little water to intesr eae of the miners or to cost much for its removal by the pumps, I regard the mine as one of unusual dryness and as one very easy to work.

In the lower portion of the mine I ob- served that the quartz vein was richly impregnated with copper ore of god quality, the copper pyrites being seem im abundence, in nests and patches and veins, as it is urually distributed in the vein stoner of this kind in mines. Ihave no doubt of the practicability of working this mine profitably for copper, and I learn that it is the intention of the company to’ sink the shafts to a much gente depth, in order to extract this ore in large quanti- ties. I was informed by Mr. Peters, who is now working the mine for gold, that the gold bearing rock yields from one to two dollars per burhel, on the average, and i ia se; rated by ccmmon Chilian mills, in the ue way, by amalgamation with mercury. He informed me that some portions of the mice had yielded as high as 1,000 dwts. of gold per 80 bushels of rock. He showed me 15.000 dwt. cf amalgam of gold and mercury, containing about 5,000 dwt. of gold, as the product of ‘the last two months, I was informed that the profits of the mine were very large, and still only two ordinary Chillan mills, driven by water power, were ured.
